Pretty Actresses; Pretty Dresses

There is constant daily growth OF
the liking for plain dresses. Pretty
Mile. Clery, at the Vaudeville, re-
sumes the quintessence of style in a
heavy white brocaded semi-train,
made in princess style, without any
shadow OF drapery or pucker. The
long coat. so to speak, opens in front
over white petticoat OF white silk
and muslin gathered into graceful
drapery folds by means of satin rib
bon stirring here and there. These
ribbons are pulled out OF their castings
and made to tie into knot with flow
ing ends. In the last act of the new
play of "Pere" she wears silver gray
sicilienne made in the same style,
only the satin petticoat is perfectly
plain, with silver gimp band at the
bottom. The dresses are open in
'front.', with muslin kerchiefs ruflled,
with the same caught up to the left OF
the high collar with Il jewel pin.

A Face.

Between the curtains OF snowy lace,
over the way, is Il haby's face,
It peeps forth, smiling in merry glee,
And waves its pink little hand at me.
NV heart responds with lonely cry,
But in the wonderful By-and.by,
out from the window OF Gods "To Be-"
That other baby shall beckoa to me.
That ever haunting and lougedfor face,
IT, at perfect vision of of infant grace,
81 all shine on me in II splendor OF light.
Never to fade from my eager sight,
AL that WAS taken shall be made good
All that puzzles me understood;
And the wee white hand that lost one da!
Shall lead me into the Better Way.

Women ssMake Up, More Than
Ever.

There has been an amazing in
crease within year or two in the use
of cosmetics and other "beautifers"
among people of fashion and ladies
who never before condescended to
such artificial aid to overcome the de-
ficiencies or rayages of nature. The
art of "making up" as it is now called
in fashionable slang, as well as on the
stage, is spreading, and there were
well authenticated cases last winter of
reigning fashionable bellies who were
net deficient in it. There is probably
no remark SO often made at the
fashionable assemblies applied to
fashionable women by each other, as
"Oh, she's made up" Enamel is
used to a considerable extent, and
there is a professional eLameler in
Philadelphia who has large patron
age. All the pharmacists in the fash.
ionable quarter of the city report a
greatly increased demand for face
washes, face creams, powders and
"beautifers" generally Exchange. :.

A New iIuterprise.

Mrs. M. T. Peck's new enterprise
for modelling Limoges vases out OF
native clay bids fair to be successful
one. She has organized stock COM
pany OF ladies, who propose to fit up
apartments for the purpose OF conve-
niently carrying on the work. A per-
feet stranger, Mrs. Peck came to Los
Angeles three weeks ago, yet during
that brief space of time she has
gathered together large classes in
painting and pottery land, as we'll, has
set in motion this last new venture.
Her experience ought to be encour-
aging to the many struggling women
in our city. Mrs. Judge Baxter,
Mrs. DR.. Clacus, and DR.. Julia f. But
ton are the three conspicuous names
that head the list of stockholders,
and they are followed by many more,
who are quite as important. Most OF
the shares in this new art school, and
which are sold at five dollars, have
been taken, but there are still a few
to be had.

A number of ladies who are entire
strangers in Los Angeles, and who
desire to be treated by electricity,
have recently asked me where they
could find q good electrician. Until
a day or two agoI did not know to
whom to direct them, but since have
seen and conversed with DR.. Edwin
Rush, the Chicago specialist who has
lust opened an office on the fourth
floor OF the California Bank building,
am in position to give to future
inquirers definite information. Pre-
vious to his recent coming to Los
Angeles DR.. Rush was a professor in
the Chicago Medical College. He
brings with him the best credentials,
and his treatment, which he calls
Estate electricity" is productive of
pleasing and gratifying results.
| am not sufficiently medical
either to describe or to under
st md his system, but he has a
large glass wheel, to which are
attached several cords and an easy
chair in which the patient sits, while
the doctor sprnkles them with cleo
tricity, which is generated from the
revolving wheel. Thus, the fluid acts
upon, without directly touching, the
body. DR.. Rush makes specially OF
the throat. lungs and chest, in the
treatment OF which he has hitherto
been eminently successful.

The Orph ans Home .

Although the Orphans Home,
which stands upon the corner of Yale
and Virgin streets is local affair, it
is an institution highly creditable to
the ladies OF Los Angeles. The State
gives per capita subsidy to
the institution. This only about
boards the children, but all other eX-
penses, such as bedding, clothing and
help, are borne by the trustees, who
in order to sustain the burden, solicit
contributions and give entertainments,
etc. The home is for orphans, half
orphans and abandoned children, and
has been established seven years. At
present there are eighty children in
the institution, and with the excep-
ton of a few chronic cases, and little
Willie WestfalI, the child whom his
father so brutally injured, and who
now is on the road to recovery, all OF
the little ones are in excellent health.
Mrs. Bissell, who has a kind face and
motherly manner, has charge OF the
nursery. The orphanage, which con-
sists OF two good sized buildings, is
surrounded by large yard, and
has fine view OF the hills
which encompass it. The largest
house, facing upon Virgin street.
contains several dormitories for the
boys, good sized dining room, and
kitchen, also sewing room, reception
room and two play rooms, one for the
BOYS and another for the girls. The
second building which occupies the
rear of the lot, comprises d"rnltorles
for the girls, sewing 70 N and
nursery. The Home is ln,., II c DIVIDED,
however, and all who are interested
in it, are anxiously awaiting the time
when the new building which mas just
been commenced will be hnish ID. The
children are not educat'.'t in the
Home. They all attend the Castelar,
public school, OF which Mrs. Dubois
is prin, ipal, and thus, by constant at
triton wi h other minds, run an
equal race with juveniles who are
more happily born. On Sunday MORN
ing, the lder children are taken by
the matron, Miss Moss, to var GUS
places of worship; but on Sunday
afternoon they attend Sunday School
in the building, after which they are
entertained by Mr.. and Mrs. Hanley,
who regularly hold brief praise SER
vices for their benefit. Miss Moss has
occupied her pr esent position for five
Yeas, and in every respect is thor
oughly identified with the work. She
is blessed with an inexhaustible
stock of patience and good humor,
while she seems to feel and certainly
does act as though each motherless or
fatherless wait was bound to her by a
personal tie of kinship or love. The
physicians in attendance upor the or
phanage, are Drs. B cknell, Maynard
and Llndley. The Secretary IS Mrs.
S. r. Dupuy, and the President is
Mrs. Il. ID. Stephens, who from the
beg ming has beef the good angel OF
the institution.

And the Woman's Investment Com
pany, is the recent speculation upon
which that enterprising organization
has embarked at San Fernando. The
company has purchased forty acres OF
the Porter Ranch, which are to be di-
vided into sixteen shares Twelve lots,
so by 100, to each share), and which
are to be sold at 1925 Il share. a syn
dictate is now forming for the final di-
vision OF the property, and during the
next three days all of the remaining
shares must be sold. The property
thus offered at SO low q figure, and
with so large u margin for speculation
o the ladies OF Los Angeles, is located
near the new no ell, which, upon the
10Th of December, will be ready for
occupancy, while running parallel with
it is the street car line, which is pre-
pairing to run about the LIST OF January.
Then, too, the climate OF San Fernan-
do is exceedingly fine, the place being
located high above fogs and trosts,
while the scenery is celebrated for its
beauty; and the water, which in all
directions is drawn from the springs
which abound, is pure and plentiful.

An appeal for Canvassers.

Probably there is no class of women
who meet with the same amount Of
discourtesy as canvassers. Yet cam
wasting is legitimate business and
in certain branches of trade is neces-
sary. Moreover, many who follow
it. Are incapable of doing anything
else and consequently are dependent
upon it for their daily bread. Doubt
less it is very annoying to a busy
housewife to be stopped in the midst
of her most active duties and to be

The Husbands OF Actrcsse.

Are class of men who are believed
to enjoy an immunity from labor. In
many instances they certainly do live
upon beds OF roses, but in many more
they toll quite as hard as though they
were engaged in any other branch Of
business. Star actresses must have
managers, and the position of a good
manager is an arduous one; therefore,
il the husbands OF these actl esses I'M
dertake to, and really do sue
cessiully help their wives be-
fore the public, they certainly are
entitled to a share OF the profits,
which are the re ult of his and her
Joint efforts. For example, Robert
Fulford, who is the husband and
manager of Annie Pixley, and who
secured her good play and started
her upon the road, is thoroughly
identified with her celebrity; while
Henry Paddock, the husband of
Maggie Mitchell, is largely RESPONSE
BILE for her popularity. Then, too,
Edwin Price, the managing husband
of Fannie Davenport, John Schoeffel,
who sustains similar relations to Agnes
Booth, and Lorraine Rogers, for
merlv the advance agent, but now the
husband of Charlotte Thompson, are
all men, who are known to be linked
with their wives brilliant destinies.
Bo,h Emma Nevada, who is happily
married to DR.. Pa mer, and Annie
Louise Cary, who is a devout wor-
shipper at her husbands shrine,
have received abundant support from
their connubial relatives. Fred Har-
riot was in the possession OF large
sugar refinery before he became the
husband of Clara Morris, whom he
has since successfully managed,
while John h. Palmer, hus-
band OF Minnie Palmer, has
by his energy and cleverne-s secured
her the prominence she now enjoys.
There are two reasons, however, SUI
perior to all others why actresses who
are felicitously married are most sue
cessful, and why the husbands OF
these actresses sh ,uld not be heaped
with contempt. One is, the moral and
social support which, as woman, an
actress derives from such an alliance ;
the other is, the personal interest
which her husband takes in her re-
receipts and receptions, and which,
consequently, makes him more Jealous
than any stranger, no matter how hon
est he was. possibly could be. Be-
sides, it is out Of the question for any
woman to stand entirely and success
fully alone. She is SO constituted, no
matter how fine her mind and how
dauntless her courage may be, that
she must, so to speak, look over the
shoulder of some man, who has be-
come her mental horizon. Mrs.
Browning never would have touched
the Tyre OF the human soul as har-
moniously as she did if it had not
been for her associations with Robert
Browning. George Sand would have
been incapable OF weighing her soar
ing genius down with the mas
culine knowledge and worldline..s
which characterizcs her novels, If
she had not been brought
into contact with the men she WAS;
and George Elliot never could have
written her name upon the dlzzlest
summit of literary fame had she not
had for her critic George Lewis, who
first induced her to write novels, and
who afterwards stood between her
and the public as censor, inspirator
and guide.

An estimable cotenporary, published
not hundred miles away, lakes great
pains to publish the minute details of
the progressive eucre parties, thereby
encouraging the influence Of the game
among young and old, saint and sinner,
but will not publish advertisements OF
whisky houses in its columns; no, not a
line. The editor thus hugs one evil, a
very great one too, to his bosom and
shuns the appearance Of another. The
former cannot possibly benefit any one
connected with the game, much less the
reporter, while for an adveytisemet of a
whisky house he would realize COM
peusation. He cannot indorse the one
because it may lead to dissipation and
intemperance, but can indorSe the other
which has already assumed mammoth
proportions as an intemperance and dis
